If you’re dreaming of a family holiday to Tenerife where absolutely everyone is catered for, from tiny tots to teenagers to adults who just want to relax by the pool, the Landmar Costa Los Gigantes Family Resort might just be your perfect match. Tucked into the dramatic southwest coast of Tenerife, this sprawling all-inclusive resort has been designed with families firmly in mind, and it shows in every single detail.
TL;DR: A spacious, all-inclusive 4-star resort on Tenerife’s stunning west coast with six pools, a free water park, kids’ clubs for every age group, six restaurants, and a full spa. One of the best-value all-inclusive holidays to Tenerife for families.
Where Is It?
The resort sits in Puerto de Santiago, on Tenerife’s quieter, less-touristy west coast. You’re just a short walk from the black-sand beach at Playa de la Arena and only 2km from the jaw-dropping Los Gigantes cliffs, which rise a staggering 300 metres straight out of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a genuinely spectacular setting!
The nearest airport (Tenerife South) is about 30 minutes away by car, which makes the transfer nice and manageable with tired little ones. If you fancy exploring beyond the resort, holidays to Los Gigantes put you within easy reach of whale watching trips, the marina, and some lovely local restaurants along the waterfront.
Pools, Water Parks and Outdoor Fun
Let’s be honest: for most kids, the pools are the holiday. And Landmar Costa Los Gigantes absolutely delivers here!
The resort has six outdoor swimming pools including a dedicated children’s pool, a waterslide, and access to a free on-site water park. There are Balinese sun beds with Atlantic Ocean views for the grown-ups, plus poolside bars so you never have to wander far for a cold drink. With lifeguards on site and pool umbrellas everywhere, it’s a genuinely relaxed setup for parents too.
Beyond the pools, the resort is packed with activities:
- Ziplining and a ropes course for the thrill-seekers
- Archery, tennis, beach volleyball and mini golf
- Cycling and bike rentals
- Water fitness, yoga, aerobics and Pilates classes
- Evening entertainment and live shows
The resort is one of the most open-plan, spacious all-inclusive hotels in the Canary Islands, so even when it’s busy, it never feels cramped.
Kids’ Clubs for Every Age
This is where the Landmar really stands out from the crowd. Rather than a one-size-fits-all kids’ club, the resort has dedicated spaces for different age groups, meaning every child gets something tailored just for them.
Baby Club (from 6 months)
The Baby Club is a beautifully equipped space for the very littlest guests, with a dedicated rest area and a play area staffed by a highly qualified team. It’s open most days of the week (closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays), and guests who book directly get one free hour per day included. It’s the kind of facility that means mum and dad can actually enjoy a spa treatment or a quiet lunch without any guilt!
Kids’ Club (4 to 12 years)
The main kids’ club is free for all guests and offers supervised activities throughout the day. The resort’s mascot, Landi, makes sure the little ones are always entertained and creating memories they’ll talk about for years.
Teens Club (12 to 17 years)
Teenagers are notoriously tricky to please on a family holiday. Not here! The Teens Club has its own dedicated indoor and outdoor space, complete with a DJ table, a professional drum kit with headphones, a Scalextric track, PlayStations, a TikTok corner, darts, ping-pong and table football. It’s basically a teenager’s dream.
This age-by-age approach is exactly what makes the Landmar such a brilliant choice for family holidays to Los Gigantes.
Food, Drink and the All-Inclusive Deal
Six restaurants and six bars. Yes, really! The all-inclusive package means you can graze your way through the day without once worrying about the bill. There’s a main buffet restaurant, a snack bar for quick bites by the pool, and a coffee shop for those all-important morning pick-me-ups.
The two poolside bars are a particular highlight, keeping the drinks flowing while the kids splash around nearby. Evening entertainment and live shows round off the days perfectly, so there’s always something to look forward to after dinner.
Bear in mind: the spa and some treatments are an additional charge, but the vast majority of what the resort offers is included in your all-inclusive rate. It’s superb value for a family all-inclusive holiday to Tenerife.
The Spa: For Adults Who Need a Proper Break
The MindUp Spa at Landmar Costa Los Gigantes is genuinely impressive, and it’s one of those rare resort spas that actually feels worth using. It includes a dynamic hydrotherapy pool with waterfalls and water jets, a saltwater floatarium, Finnish sauna, Roman thermae, Turkish bath, steam room, ice fountain, and a relaxation room with heated loungers.
There are also family spa hours every day from 10am to 4:30pm, so the kids can enjoy the facilities too (ages 4 to 17). Outside of those hours, adults can have the space to themselves. It’s a lovely touch that means everyone wins.
Treatments including facials, hot stone massages, aromatherapy and sports massages are available at an extra charge.
